All Acer norebook, which I see (~4 models) has bad acpi table for linux, bsd and OS/2. So first need find in linux site patched acpi table and try use it via directive FILE from acpi.cfg. This is possible only for Uni kernel.

Its Kabuntu or Ubuntu (version 7.04) that loads on this laptop with duo core and power management. So there is ACPI support.

file ToSend?.tgz send to me, I will look, what a table use Ubuntu, then this table send to you.

As I remember, one with Acer can boot with /SAP:0x20

The ACER boots with the option /SAP:0x20 and I see that the ACPI gets loads with one processor. I have used after the boot the ACPI-wizard and I added the /SMP allso. After the boot the ACPI get loaded with two processors. Other items as the batterypower or shutdown dos not work at the moment...

Thank you,

Pasha please see ticket 145. So the /SAP:0x20 according to Eugene was introduced because of machines not having a PCI BIOS !? How does OS2LDR then survive on such a system without ACPI loaded ???
